OBJECTIVES: To describe the lateral approach to the popliteal artery in reconstructions after soft tissue sarcoma resection in the thigh. DESIGN: Case reports. Subjects Four patients with soft tissue sarcoma. METHODS: Extraanatomic reconstruction of the resected artery and vein in the medial part of the thigh was performed. Vessel reconstruction was performed before tumor resection to avoid leg ischemia. RESULTS: In all four patients the artery was replaced by using the contralateral saphenous vein, while the femoral vein was replaced in two cases using e-PTFE. Post-operative complications included one large lymphatic collection and a deep wound infection. Arterial primary graft patency was 100% after 1-7 years. Patency of the e-PTFE-venous graft was 0% without further consequences. CONCLUSIONS: The extraanatomic lateral replacement of the vessels in the thigh is an elegant method in difficult vascular reconstructions after soft tissue sarcoma resection or debridement for deep vascular infections. |
